"Mapping Ararat: Reanimating History"January 29, 2014

Mapping Ararat has been selected as one of four projects that will be featured at a workshop at The Center for Jewish History on January 29, 2014. The workshop explores case studies that transform visual and material culture drawn from the archive into public history and, in our case, into art as well.

Melissa Shiff will speak about contemporary Jewish art as a vehicle for a renaissance in Jewish education. Shiff will speak about two of her Passover projects that update this ritual taking it to the public sphere and even to the streets.
